TAPE WINDER FOR TAPE' LOGMS. APPLIQATION FILED Maza, 1907.

-nm 6 u o 2011111 5 l-lV gage; 1- 16 15 "Kul bar 20 has extending uptherefrom two lugs or projections 20, which project through theelongated slot or opening 11 in the guide 11, and has transverse pins 21extending therethrough to hold the guide 11 in position. From the abovedescription in connection with the drawings the operation of ourimprovements will be readily understood by those skilled in the art.

Through the rotation of the take-up roll 1, and the irictionalengagement of the tape 8 on the winding-up roll 6 with said take-uproll, rotary motion is communicated to the winding-up roll 6 and to thecam disk 13 thereon. As the cam disk 13 rotates, its engagement with theprojections or lingers 14l and 14 on the sliding arm or connector 14,will move said connector, first in one direction, and then in the other,and with it the yoke shaped pawl 17, and the engagement of th'e push'arm 17/ of said pawl with the ratchet gear 18, when the sliding arm orconnector 14 moves in one direction, will rotate said ratchet gear andwith it the cam 16, and the engagement oi the other arm 17 ol the pawl17 with the ratchet gear 18, when the sliding arm or connector 14 movesin the opposite direction, will also rotate said ratchet gear and thecam 16. The rotation of the cam 16, through its engagement with the lugsor projections 20, on the har 20, will oscillate said bar 20, and withit the guide or lever 11, at regular intervals, to move its outer end,on which is the guide strip 11, first in one direction, and then in theother, as shown by broken tape roll, a cam disk connected thereto torotate therewith, and a rotatable cam, of a ratchet gear connected withsaid rotatable cam, a yoke shaped pawl for rotating saidA ratchet gear,a reciprocatingl arm carryingr said pawl, and havingl engaging surfacesoperated hy saidl cam disk, a pivotally mounted tape guide, and aconnection from said guide to said rotatable cam, to cause said guide tohave a traverse or oscillating movement to guide the tape on to theroll.

2. In a tape winding mechanism, the combination with a tape or windingup roll, and a tape guide to `guide the tape onto the roll, of mechanismintermediate said tape roll and said tape guide, said mechanismcomprising. a cam disk, a reciprocating arm operated by said cam disk, apawl carried on said arm, a ratchet gear operated by said pawl andconnected with a cam to rotate said cam, and said cam, to communicate atraverse or oscillating movement to said tape guide.
